Very kind and helpful staff!! Very easy and quick to get in. Took us longer than the hour and they didn’t press us. Great music and vibes. Wasn’t too busy and got sat immediately.
You're given a choice of wooden sticks which you'll shave, using the provided machine, into chopsticks. There are about three or four employees, and each group of people seems to have one dedicated employee to help them. Once the shaving is done, you'll sand them down to make them smooth. You don't paint or glaze them, you keep them as is and are free to do what you want with the chopsticks after you've taken them home. They let you keep some of the shavings, for fun, too, and bag it all for you. Depending on the size of the group and the people, some people in the group may get more attention than others, and others may need to repeatedly call for help if they need it. It's about an hour long. It's good if you want to pass a little bit of time while taking home an affordable souvenir which was part of a fun experience.
We loved this. It was so professional -- a regular buzzing factory of us chopstick makers. Staff's English excellent. Didn't realize they would personalize (with name) our souvenir set of chopsticks.
Staff was very friendly and had a fun atmosphere
Fun easy and pleasing experience
Very helpful guides. Genorously offered another stick when I messed up one. Clear visual and verbal depictions of what engraving would look like when translated to Japanese.
All staff was extremely helpful during the experience. English is perfect if you are international and it was extremely fun. Plenty of wood choices at different prices.
The experience was very fun and worth it ! The workers were sooo friendly and helpful. If you want a fun and easy activity, really recommend :)
